Fiji Airways Flying Fijian scrum half Frank Lomani will take on the role as Captain for the first time with the young play-maker further establishing his strength as a genuine international for Fiji.

However, don’t rule Tonga A out just yet, as they have sent a powerful line up to greet the defending title holders. And as Coach Seruvakula is aware of the physical battle up front, he has named an experienced scrum pack to counter the threat from the Ikale Tahi side.

The Warriors have also named plenty of depth off the bench with Flying Fijian hooker Veremalua Vugakoto and Vodafone Fiji Under 20s captain Raikabula Momoedonu among the talent waiting to impact in the series opener.

The Swire Shipping Fiji Warriors meet Tonga A at 5pm, Friday 8th March at the National Stadium, Suva. The opening match for the World Rugby Pacific Challenge between Junior Japan and Samoa A kicks off at 2.30pm.
